The video tutorial explains how electromagnetic waves are produced from atoms and nuclei. It covers the generation of radio waves and microwaves through oscillating electrons in antennas, the production of x-rays via electron deceleration in x-ray tubes, and the creation of gamma rays through radioactive decay and electron-positron annihilation. Additionally, it discusses how infrared radiation is emitted by vibrating atoms and how visible and ultraviolet light are produced by electron transitions between energy levels.
